Hello, I have encountered this problem while looking up specific songs to add to my playlist. I have standard latin keyboard, however, I can fluently read cyrilic so I can "transcribe it in my head" to which letter it would be in latin. When I want to look something up, I can write the name of the band in latin and it shows up the band in the suggestions, but when I try to add song, it gets confused and says "no results found for xy, please make sure your words are spelled correctly, or use fewer or different keywords". So the problem is effectively:
I write: Peremotka
Suggestions: Peremotka
I write: Peremotka sol... (solnce)
Suggestions: no results found for Peremotka sol, please make sure your words are spelled correctly, or use fewer or different keywords
The same happens if I write full name of the song, or with different songs.
I know facebook has the "conversion" feature, meaning if I write in Latin, it will also show me results in cyrillic. I wanted to see if this feature is possible so I checked on youtube and yourube also has it. I have talked to a few of my friends and they also find it annoying, because if we are looking for a not-so-well-known song, that is not in the suggestions, we need to know the album it was taken from or else we have to open every single album and check if it's there. I have already given up on some songs because it takes too long to add them, meanwhile on youtube it's just one click away. I really hope you can add it soon. Best of luck to everyone and have a great day
